I'm putting some serious thought into cryogenic freezing.
They can wake me up when Animals is released.

Despite I created this thread more than 3 years ago, I can't help getting excited every time I see a new post, hoping to read about the release date.
But 3 years later, there's nothing

I'd love to see an Immersion level box set released for Animals
It would have been a good opportunity to include the live performances of Raving and Drooling and You Got to Be Crazy, but they already released them as part of the WYWH boxed set.

@surround.sound.enthusiast
I really like the live versions on that CD. The audio quality is quite good to my ears.
I wonder if there are any multi-tracks of that concert?

A friend of mine recently shared an ISO with me, that supposedly features Q8s of AHM, Meddle, WYWH, DSOTM, plus the Animals SACD mix and some stuff from other bands.
All in DTS. I should check it out soon! Preliminary quick listen sounded promising...

 

[JediJoker]

...Q8s of... ...Meddle...

Never existed. Maybe DTS from The Early Years?

Possibly. Just saying what the menu says, if memory serves.

 

[rontoon]

They were recently shared on Y.
Not real Q8s, fake quad.

According to (not always very reliable) Po Powell, Animals is coming next year, remixed and with some live material:
https://variety.com/2021/music/news...ir-mortal-remains-hollywood-vogue-1235056891/"One element fans may immediately gravitate to is a photograph in the “Animals” section that Powell shot five years ago at the site of the original “Animals” shoot that will be used as the cover of a long-awaited boxed set for that album due to now arrive in 2022. “I’ve reshot the ‘Animals’ cover, which was the pig over the power station,” says Powell. “So although it’s not been released yet, we thought, well, okay, let’s put the new cover up there. They’re building blocks of flats there, and I wanted to get this picture before the power station was surrounded completely — which it is now – by apartments to the point you can barely see it, and do something with it. Consequently there’s a re-release of the new album, a version with a remix and a live album, coming out next year, and this is going to be the album cover."
The article is a nice reading, but it contains some nice mistakes as calling "A Saucerful of Secrets" "Set the Controls for the Hearts of the Sun"

Great article/read….. really hope it’s true that there will be LIVE stuff also included in the SDE!!!!

Great, now it's sometime next year.

While I hope this is true I have my doubts about this. Po doesn't always get things right (try as he may) and he didn't mention the multichannel mix which we know will be included. It's also possible that he could have been referring to a time when a live recording was being considered not knowing the current release status. We'll see.

Correction: A previous version of this story referred to a live-album component of an upcoming “Animals” boxed set. A live album is not part of the release.

It surprises me that the band didn't record any of their shows 73-79. A quadraphonic ( or stereo ) live Pink Floyd album would have been a hit, I'd think?

It must have been discussed at some point. Their 1975 tour would have been a good opportunity, and good timing. They could have cut the WIP material & still had enough for an LP.

WIP?

WIP?

Work in progress....they were playing some "wish you were here" songs to work things out, before they went back into the studio to finish the album in the fall. "Raving and drooling" didn't make the cut but came out as "sheep" on Animals.
